It really is a different universe for University/ISP versus corporate netw=
orks. Neither is wrong or right, but both have different needs. My complain=
t is that my sense is that Ipv6 was designed and favors the ISP environment=
rather than corporate networks.
A corporate network really does want to ignore next year's new hot protocol=
unless it makes business sense to support it. There may be regulatory reas=
ons to block it (we are required to archive all email and instant messages)=
or management may decide it's a waste of time to support or management may=
feel it's a waste of people's work time to use. Obviously as a end-user wi=
th residential FTTH, I want something completely different from my ISP.
